wow, the game is amazing! The music suits the ambient, but if you want to make more fast paced levels i would suggest speeding up the rythim. The concept has a lot of potential and i really liked the game overall!

First of all : This is adorable.
The gameplay is really instinctive and the floating mechanics are really tight. The blackhole slinghot part was really satisfying too !
I had a weird bug where the music would cut whenever I walked, so I don't know where that came from...
All around great game !

PremonitionsThe game was great had a lot of fun but having only 3 levels is sad but not a big deal. The mechanics are cool although I haven't figured out some of them and yeah, when you die this text shows up, and it's not very pretty but it gets the job done. But yeah, good job, hope you had fun! ;)

Invisible FutureReally cool entry! The difficulty was spot on in my opinion, not too hard and not boring. The controls were easy to pick up, and the concepts on how to play were clear from the start, no tutorial text needed. Not to mention the Cat is adorable! Excellent work all around, it felt good and was fun!
If I had to give some criticism (its all minor things, I really liked this entry), is a transition effect when you touch a gravity changing spot, maybe a accompanying sound effect as well. The Gravity over all felt a little low, but that seems intentional so its not really criticism. it did make me sad that the cat didnt seem to meow much. Final thing is the all important, I wanted to play more so I wish there was more levels haha.
Fantastic entry!
Great work!

Justice B.L.U.EThank you ever so much for checking out SPACE CAT. Our programmer was certainly on limited time when designing these levels but it's very nice to know that he got the difficulty spot on in your opinion. I really enjoyed testing out the game too. Especially speed running through the levels with the other artist who challenged me. We really like our feline friend. The design was really awesome and it all started with a quick sprite that I had thrown together. The other artist envisioned it their way and that's when we ended up with the final design you see today.
Your criticism is very much appreciated. We appreciate constructive critcism above all else but we are far more appreciative for those who really enjoyed playing our game. It's really nice to see there's many that really enjoyed the game. There's definitely plans to add more sounds in this game. We will be sure to implement new sounds and I'll also discuss cat meow sounds with the audio / sound design dude. We have plans to design future levels. We also have plans to introduce some more hazards that our feline friend will encounter. There is definitely plans to add much more to this game but still keep the simplistic charm everyone seems to really like. We will be sure to keep you updated, keep checking back every once in a while and you will begin to see new updates! :) Meow from our feline friend to you all. Thank you ever so much once again! I hope you all have a wonderful day! :)
Wow this was really enjoyable to play! Looking forward to this one if you decide to continue development. So far everything is great about this game.
PD: We also love cats!

Neon Pagoda BlocksI love this game. And here is why:
First of all, this cute cat is awesome! Character design made me the #1 fan of the game! Sound design feels nice and dives you into the space setting. 10/10. Future idea: let it meow ;)
I love the concept, especially how cat moves in zero G. Some interactible objects in my opinion doesn't give enough information about their functionality, but you can always just try, and won't lose immediately. So, not really an issue.
I really had a great experience with this game. Thanks alot for making it! Can't wait to see your future games!
This game is absolute meowsterpiece!

Space spearIt is so good to see new and creative takes on known mechanics. The game is incredible and definitely has great potential for expansion, this could totally turn into a commercial project. It's so relaxing to play with the jetpack mechanic. Very good guys!
Quicktip: Since you are using Unity, always submit a Webgl version of your games, this will give you much more visibility and more feedback.

Re-PathThank you ever so much, Creational Labs! Honestly, we just wanted to develop something fun to play. It was crazy how we had come to this random decision on making a 2D Platformer titled SPACE CAT. I'm truly happy with how we've managed to get this game done for the game jam. It's even more amazing to me that we were able to get so much positive feedback as well as some great constructive criticism. Something I will always appreciate is honesty, especially brutal honesty. I'm really happy you think the game is incredible. We certainly are very proud of this project and the strength has also come from the community who have continuously overwhelmed us recently with incredible feedback! It's awesome to know someone else thinks this game has great potential for expansion too! That's exactly what I was thinking and in all honesty, the whole team have been very eager to continue working on this project. We would love to turn this into a commercial project, I'll definitely be wanting to discuss this with the team. Just know that comments like yours are great to motivate all of us into wanting to give something even more incredible back in return for everyone's generosity. I actually found it really funny and we as a team were laughing when we first saw the cat animated with its tail blowing in the wind like a flag. Definitely a great choice made by our other artist. I'll be sure to let the team know of these new reviews and comments! We are super excited to continue working on this project! We will definitely be trying to get this game released for browsers via Webgl. We just ran into a few problems but will use this extra time to get things fixed up or as cat owners may say about their torn threaded curtains, patched up. Either way, we will definitely be continuously trying to get this game out there! We definitely want to recieve more visibility and more feedback. However, we are very grateful for the visibility and feedback it's already received within the first 10-11 hours! Thank you once again for writing your honest feedback! Your submission is really awesome too! Keep up the amazing work! :)
Thank you ever so much for checking out our game, R-Doman! Not only do we appreciate that you've taken time to review our game but we also appreciate the effort you went to for us. We are truly sorry that the game is currently downloadable only. We do have plans to make an opengl version, it's just we are running into a few problems. I'm sure we will find a solution eventually. Hopefully, we will have some updates for the game too! I'm really happy that you trusted us and even happier that you played our game too! I'm glad you trusted this one! I completely understand your concerns. We wanted to make great use of the color palette but we weren't too sure originally what we wanted to do with it. It all started when I started designing several different cat sprites. That's when our awesome other artist in our team came to the rescue and provided you the cute visuals you see now. I'll definitely be able to contribute much more to this project with the time limitation no longer in effect. We look forward to giving everyone a fun experience! And we certainly wish to make this a lengthier game. I'm really happy you enjoyed the platforming too! The amount of feedback and interest we've had is truly remarkable and we never expected it either. I'm truly overwhelmed and on behalf of the team I worked with, I'm certain they are feeling it too. It's even better to know we executed it greater than a previous attempt by someone else. That really reassures us and makes us feel even more proud of our project. However, I'm sure the other project you saw had a whole lot of heart put into it too. We definitely tried our best to reach that time limitation as best possible. We worked hard trying to get things in place. Most of us stayed up late into the night to get extra things done for the project! We wanted to make every minute count! And not a moment wasted. We are now gonna take a short break and provide everyone some fun updates along the way! :)
Don't worry! We are currently working on getting a mac version out as soon as possible! Our focus has shifted to getting a mac version out and fixing any bugs that are reported to us. Thank you for trying to play our game and we hope you revisit once we've got that mac version released for mac users :)
Loving the aesthetics.
Loving the gameplay.
Loving the kitty.

BACK TO THE NACHOSThis is such a cool little game :D Very adorable from art to the sound of cat footsteps. And the moment that cat started spinning in zero g was surprisingly funny for me. I managed to break it once, by being transferred out of bounds with gravity changer, but I could not reproduce it after. I liked the overall concept, games based on changing gravity are not easy to pull off (I know that from experience) and here it works really smooth and well. Overall very enjoyable, hope You make more of this, great work for a jam game :)

FuturenautsThank you ever so much for your review! :D I really enjoyed seeing this project come together. I was really happy with the visual design too. There's a lot more we can add in time, I look forward to future updates. Haha, we all laughed when we first saw the cat spinning in zero g too! Thank you once again! We will definitely keep this feedback in mind and try to fix any bugs that may present themselves with future builds / existing builds. You also made a great game! :)
If this was a mario maker level it's tag should be short and sweet.
It was really good, I think the art might be a bit off putting to some people and that's why they might not try it but if you read this try it. It's a bit of a puzzle game but with a bit of experimentation you can get through it it's not big and has some lovely sounds overall very little to say about this game that needs improving, the tile set isn't the greatest but its not bad, there was a time when the cat did rotate in the air if you git a corner so I don't know if the cat spinning was intended but really nice job.

Lost SpiritThank You! Firstly, we really appreciate you for taking time out of your day to write this review for us. While I agree that the art may not be for everyone, we worked with what he had in mind. There's definitely plenty more we can add to this game and we are very much aware of this ourselves. We will be making any bug fixes, art changes, ect. soon! I'll let our programmer know about this bug right now. Thank you for reporting that to us! I really appreciate your honesty and the fact you were offering very helpful constructive criticism. Thank you for playing our game! :)
